Another Complex Tablature, but worth it for the outcome at the end,
if you get that far with out givin' up
D (riff #1)

Over the A chord Setzer plays different variations of the same lick...
it goes something like this...
A (riff#2)
E-----5---5---5-------5---5---5---|
B-----5---7---5-------5---7---5---|
G-----6---6---5h--6---------------|
D---------------------------------|
A---------------------------------|
E---------------------------------|
This is the basic idea...he plays it a little differently each time he hits
the A chord.
The next section of the song has a cool progression from D9 to G to E7 it
looks like this...

This next riff is played in between the verses, it's only played on the D
and A strings...

The final cool Setzer lick is the one that everyone knows...
he plays it in a couple spots during
the song...you'll know it when you hear it....
